Would you rather Bond return to his cultural knowledge OR Bond return to the one-liner?

    Pam.
    I like boats. Especially motorboats.

    Pam for me too! If only for that shot in LTK, when she disrobes the harbour master outfit in front of a grinning Bond!
    Anya may be gorgeous, but she's as boring as hell!

    I was going to go with Pam, but I felt sorry for Anya. Especially in that black evening dress. Hello!
    And when it get's cold, she can show me what they really do in Siberia. ;)

    I enjoy seeing all the love for Pam. I used to have the impression that she was WAAAYY underrated among Bond girls. Probably because (mostly) the Americans objected to her short haircut after her "transformation". For me, that was when she became sexy and special in the movie.

    Yes very interesting choices being made! Love the thought that when in to the responses.

    Lets move on to another would you rather, this one in honour of Father's Day. (at least here in North America where it's Father's Day!)

    Would you rather have Karim Bey or Marc Ange Draco as your father?

    Kerim Bey, whatever his patriarchic behavior (his sons being his servants), was not really a crook by occupation (I'm not speculating on him paying his taxes in Turkey). So I would prefer him rather than Marc Ange Draco, being a head of organized crime, as my father. I would also have been positively pissed off if my father promised to give away a million dollars of MY inheritance (though it was somewhat ill-earned money) to someone if he married my sister Teresa.

    Fortunately, I used to have my own father for the first 39 years of my life. And there was nowhere near a million (not even marks) to waste or worry about.

    Kerim Bay. I absolutely love my new mum.

    Although Olympe isn't bad either. And she plays a good game of chess.

    That's like asking which of my children is my favourite.
    I think both would be great, but Kerim had all of his kids working for him. Where as Marc-Ange Draco had a policy of spare the rod, spoil the child. I could hang out at his various establishments. Live off his wealth. Pretty cool.
    And then there's Olympe.

    I rest my case.

    Kerim seems to have a warmth that Draco doesn’t, or at least that’s the impression I got. Either would be a great option, but I’ll go with Kerim.

    I know Kerim Bey would've treated me so much better as his daughter, than how Draco did, Kerim Bey would've cared for me, and in doing so, I wouldn't be a rebel like Tracy did.

    At some point, Tracy even showed that she didn't liked her father, she's a rebel against him.

    I liked Draco as an ally, but father? I would go with Kerim Bey.

    I hadn't realized Olympe was so damned sexy.

    Kerim is absolutely awesome, but I'd enjoy a Campari with Draco as well.

    Personally I'd fancy living on Corsica more than the big city life of Kerim's hometown. The food must great as well, so close to Italy.

    Kerim's less likely to punch me out when I cause a fuss.

    But you're not a spoiled child, are you?

    I didn't expect to be tackling such difficult questions so early on a Monday.

    I think I'd go with Draco, thanks to his wealth and, as has been mentioned, his "spare the rod, spoil the child" outlook on parenting. You couldn't go wrong with Kerim though, considering just how much he cherishes and prioritizes his children.

    You might also call it "exploiting and instrumentalizing" his sons. :-)

    He should be, you're his son.

    That too! The '60s were a different time, so probably makes it better to choose being spoiled by Draco instead and living an easy life of luxury.

    Thanks for the pictures of Olympe. It would be nice to take night classes with her. LOL!

    Again I must say I enjoy the thoughts here. Both fathers are different and our answers seem to highlight some of them. A life of crime or as part of the Mi6 network, interesting choices.

    Like @SIS_HQ wrote: Draco is great as an ally but doesn't seem to be great as a father. Therefore, Kerim Bey for me.

    Kerim Bey without question.

    Thanks for the Virginia North pics @Benny.

    Still, I must select Kerim Bey, if for no other reason than guaranteed employment post college. :))

    This one is way to easy. If I was Draco's sun I could travel the world in sports cars, live in fancy hotels and eat at the best restaurants. If I was Kerim's sun I would be forced to work for him as "protection".

    I'm an only child, so I'd rather be Draco's spoiled brat than one of dozens of kids with different mums. And he'd always be there to bail me out, whether it's paying off gambling debts or a mountaintop helicopter rescue.

    Virginia is also in THE ABOMINABLE DR PHIBES, a film I can recommend because it has
    • Vincent Price
    • Virginia North
    • Everything that the later Saw movies would explore and exploit
    • Virginia North
    • A great score
    • And Virginia North

    Her character is called Vulnavia. Dangerous name. If you clumsily forget a few letters, well then...

    My thoughts exactly, but then again I’m also an only child ;)
